Data scraping

house_reps

The data house_reps is a minimally processed version of that on the Chief Clerk's webpage.

To re-generate house_reps, run the scripts in order:

1. 01-scrape.Rmd
2. 02-parse.Rmd
3. 03-clean.Rmd
4. 04-patch.Rmd

house_reps_regular

house_reps_regular is a more processed data set that:

• only includes Regular sessions,
• after OR became a state, with
• legislators in the house at the start of the session, and
• their party affiliation at the start of the session.

The code to generate house_reps_regular is in 05-regular.Rmd.

clean_csv <- here("data-raw", "chronology-clean.csv")
patched_csv <- here("data-raw", "chronology-patched.csv")

# use same spec to read
spec <- spec_csv(clean_csv)

clean <- read_csv(clean_csv, col_types = spec)
patched <- read_csv(patched_csv, col_types = spec)

diffs <- diff_data(clean, patched, ordered = FALSE)

diff_html <- render_diff(diffs, view = FALSE, fragment = TRUE,
  summary = TRUE)
writeLines(diff_html)
